Rating: 5/5Hard to beat

Pros: It's hard to go back to an LG or even a Samsung of similar size right after using this Asus. Initially my various scanners were connected to various computers but it seems that most have migrated to the computer with the Asus screen. I wonder why...

Cons: Hard to find: so far no bad pixel, and no need to call Asus.

Other Thoughts: I went boldly where few have gone: putting the Asus monitor on the road (with the right suitcase and padding) and show off our videos using a DVD player, not a PC. So far, at each exhibition, it seems we have the best screen in the room (in truth, many don't bother and use laptops with not so great screens).

Cons: I had this monitor for 8 months and then it wouldn't turn on correctly. I would have to unplug it and plug it back in. It wasn't that frequent so I did nothing. A year later it was doing it daily. Now at 1.5 years it won't work at all. I have to send it in and will have to do my work on a backup monitor until they send me a refurbished one, which could die at any time as well.

Other Thoughts: I had hoped to get more than a year out of this monitor, but it failed on me while I have several shoots to edit, which is a huge inconvenience and hassle. The Asus support line seems like it's set up so that you get lost in the phone tree and give up.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Will,

We are sorry to hear your experience with this monitor. Please contact me to check the status of your RMA at cl-celeste@asus.com and include case#3215622 in the subject line. ASUS Customer Loyalty is here to listen and respond to your concerns and to help you with a positive ASUS experience.

Rating: 4/5Best monitor in the price point

Pros: Not much here as it's the best monitor I've use since 1986. Also, the Adobe RGB color space is awesome.

Cons: Since I purchased the monitor in the age of USB 3.0, it would have been nice to have that upgrade instead of the USB 2.0.

Other Thoughts: I would have given it a 5 rating if it had been updated to the USB 3.0 and it would have been an easy upgrade to retrofit existing product. I see that as an intentional avoidance to recall older stock and update. Financially, times are tight so only a 1 ding for an otherwise flawless monitor.

Cons: Well for the first year my 3 pro art screens worked great! .. now 2 out of 3 have whole lines of color appearing on them. One has a giant red line, another has a giant yellow line. Asus is becoming known for shotty quality these days. I don't know anyone who has bought asus and not have had to do multiple RMAs.

Other Thoughts: Great, I spent all this cash for the perfect screens, I'm still paying them off, and now I have giant eyecatching lines across them. Guess I'll do another round of asus RMA >.< 5th time this year.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

Please send me an email along with some pictures of the monitor showing the issue you described above (red/yellow lines) to cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-11669 in the subject line. Include the monitor’s serial# so that we can discuss which RMA options are available for your monitor.

Rating: 5/5Great Monitor, Decent Price

Pros: Truly wide gamut (100%+ Adobe RGB)Great PortsEasily ConfiguredPrice compared to similar monitors is pretty goodSolid Warranty (though I haven't made any attempt to use it)

Cons: Heavy (but not meant to be moved, so not much of an issue)Could always be cheaperSilly grid button feature

Other Thoughts: Really love this monitor. It's great for photo editing and does wonders toward making prints which look the way you intend. The price is stomachable, and even for general productivity, 24" is pretty useful.

Cons: I've had 2 of these monitors for just about 2 or more years now. I've had to get one of them replaced about 8 times and the second one about 6 times. Sadly, this is no joke.

I'm a graphic design professional and I use color management devices such as X-Rite's I1Display Pro to calibrate my printing and display environments. I have never ever received 2 monitors that matched in backlighting and it drives me insane.

One monitor always has a red tint to the backlight when viewing a white background and the other is always a green tint. I've sunk an enormous amount of hours into getting acceptable results without luck. (the OSD will not fix backlight tints nor will calibration tools, it's just a defect). It also doesn't help that Asus has 2 models of this unit floating around, an older model with bright white lettering on the bezel and a new one with dark grey lettering, to my understanding that have different backlight technologies also. I've tried calling X-Rite to make sure i'm calibrating these right, I've done tons of tests on the backlights (by the way the backlighting is always heavily uneven on most of the monitor's I've received.). I've tried many different inputs to calibrate, I've tried having 2 separate GPU's to hold different color profiles, I've even tried different GPU's & motherboards entirely. There is just no way to have two of these and expect them to be close, this also makes me come to the conclusion that just using 1 might not even get you the best results either.

Mishaps while RMAing units:On one instance I received someone else's returned unit, still broken and scuffed up by mistake. On another instance I received my own monitor that I sent out back by accident without even being looked at. Another instance I received a unit that had worn down 'holes' in the screen so you got purples halos behind your image (They were not physical holes but defects in the screen itself).

After all those times they finally escalated me to the top repair technician for Asus USA, Eric Sablan. He tried to be really helpful and he did his best but the 2 monitors he sent me were still not a match, they were closer but still not good enough in the backlight hues to be acceptable. Not to mention one of inputs on one of those specially hand picked units occasionally displays no input but shows it's on forcing me to toggle the PSU switch on/off to get it working again. It's highly annoying.

So what do you do after 14 Returns and the last pair specifically matched for you by the top tech when one of the units doesn't function right? I have no idea! Send them back for another month+ of not having them just to get another set of mismatched units? I'm so upset.

In the total ~2 years I've owned these monitors I've actually only been able to use them for 1 year, they have been tied up in RMA's for an entire year in time between the 14 total RMA's (Usually 1-1.5 months each time, rarely a few weeks).

If these are pro monitors why is thei

Other Thoughts: I keep asking them to please refund my money, I'll send them the displays, I just want my money back. But Asus is sneaky. Asus USA takes no corporate responsibility for their products, Asus USA as they claim, is ONLY a repair service. They are not provided with the means to refund US customers and they get testy with you when you ask for way to contact those who can help with that. I've really close to pushing some legal action against them, what happened to Lemon Laws? I find this business practice deceptive.

Asus Rep, If you see this, Please do the right thing, help me out. I want out of this investment. I gave Asus more than a fair chance to make this right and I'm getting walked all over on this. Please help me get in touch with the right people.

It even isn't just limited to this monitor, Every Asus product I've bought within the last year has been out to service, my GPU (5 Service Events, resulted in an upgrade to a newer but equal GPU), my router, and wireless receiver as well.

If you're thinking about buying this, Pass on it, save the headache.

Dear Valued Customer,

I’m truly sorry to hear your monitor experience. If you ever feel like discussing this topic with me, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-10266 in the subject line.

Rating: 5/5Great monitor and a good price

Pros: This monitor came with a complete rundown of all testing and calibration right from the factory. I plugged it in and it was spot on color wise right out of the box. I teach photoshop and photography and often find myself bragging out about how much I like this monitor for price as well as color accuracy. I would advice anyone to buy this if color accuracy is important.

Other Thoughts: i sent this moniter in for repair and i did let them know what was going with this thing, blinking and going black and ascreen looks dim as hell all of a sudden, hooked it up to a older system same thing, put my 4 year old samsung back and no problem. hooked my dell moniter which is new back in as the 2nd moniter on my main system no problem, which is hooked up with the asus 120hz 27in, told this to there so called techs, and they send me a email asking what problems i am having with the moniter. if i don't respond in 24 hours they will send it back unfixed. i don't expect this 120hz hz to last long also. i will never buy anything from asus again. i feel really bad spending all my dammn money on there products.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear force99,

I’m so sorry about your monitor. I would like to help you out. Please provide me your RMA# as I am willing to look into your case and see if I can reopen it. My email is cl-celeste@asus.com and use this ref#1072-9270 in the subject line.

Rating: 5/5Best Monitor

Pros: This is one of the best monitors I have ever owned. Easily compares to 1000$ dells and NEC monitors. Preset RGB settings and measurements on screen! Color reproduction is very wide and brilliant. This is the best monitor around, unless you go QHD, for 500$. Have owned this monitor for over a year.

Cons: None yet.

Other Thoughts: The wide range of brightness control allows anyone to use this outdoors in direct sunlight, with no clouds. I use brightness in srgb mode at 22 or usermode at 18 indoors. At 100 it is blinding. HDMI and displayport sending audio. USBHub does not work with monitor in sleep or off. Very long warrenty a great investment!
